aeneid 6.638-41, 6.672-5 trans. a.s. kline / plutarch, life of tiberius gracchus 9.4-5 trans. perrin
#aeneid daily#now i understand that this is a parallel for me and me alone and also it is barely even there. BUT. but.#(and bear in mind idk what plutarch's source for this speech was + he was writing After vergil)#a) i think it is very interesting that tiberius gracchus says that about the lack of graves. when the air and light thing in the aeneid is#in The Underworld#b) 'they are styled masters of the world' / the (future) glory of rome shown to aeneas in aeneid 6 vs like. the pessimistic reading of it#via dead marcellus. sure is something#c) something something the gracchi -> chain of events -> the social war. and it is VERY fun to think about the social war in the bg of#the aeneid.#d) um. lucan. this parallel literally was only noticeable to me because of the What If The Popularis Ghosts Did Underworld Agrarian Reform#And Redistributed The Elysian Fields thing in the pharsalia#which is mostly?????? me going haha. what if. but also. WHAT IF??? i do think it's There even if it's not the main thing happening in that#whole situation. and now im like. what if this is yet another instance of 'something cool in lucan was actually also in vergil all along'#much to consider. when it is not The Night.#aeneid#plutarch#beeps

Fuck it, classics predictions for Tumblr in 2024
Terfs will go so far in their bio essentialism that they will insist that women are fundamentally cold and wet and men are hot and dry, due to being cooked more in the womb
Fake Tumblr activism will accidentally bring back the Oppian Laws
Aeneas will become Tumblrs new poor little meow meow but only after someone publishes a retelling where he and Turnus are in love
Someone invents another fake goddess
Oracle of Delphi blog emerges to catalogue Tumblr moments of prophecy
#these are all terrible. please tell me if you have your own#i do think if someone pitched aeneas and turnus as toxic enemies to lovers the aeneid would do numbers on here. for better or for worse#tagamemnon#classics memes

I am a whopping 5 pages into the Aeneid and Aeneas is already so funny. It starts storming and his immediate reaction is just "I wish Diomedes had killed me"
#granted the storms were divinely sent#with hera and aeolus having a teamwork moment#but people start drowning and he just goes#“i could have died in glory at the hands of diomedes. but nooooo. i get to drown instead”#i love him#greek mythology#tagamemnon#the aeneid#aeneas#diomedes
